Farmers Get Crackin' with Wonderful Pistachios Commercial

[dshafe7]

great job man

[kkevink01]

wait so y did u forfeit

[MjBeaud]

@kkevink01 Hey. We decided that the value of our creative was more than the runner up prize. The amount of hours we put into the video would make the payout a fraction of minimum wage. We were happy to hear our prize money and pistachios were donated. They understood our stance and I still love the pistachios. Cheers.

It looks like the whole voting thing didn't really work. There was no movement at all in the supposed winning line-up for more than a week after one video moved up 8 places overnight. Surely there would have been some change in the order if votes were being counted. And the moderator disappeared after announcing the fixed vote accusations. Please help us by asking Wonderful Pistachios to pick the BEST video and keep it a video contest, not a clicking contest. Thanks, Hopeful

[whutmy]

You deserve to win but their are plenty of opportunities with talent such as yours. With any product people use or enjoy you are the perfect person and have a great work ethic, I'm sure. So anyways...I hope you liked my partial dedication to your video....anyways...it has a commercial and farmer theme to it....I really hope you win but more than that...these contests are skewed...and I really think if we put our heads together you could come out the overall winner in this contest!

[GramVideos95]

this is the best ONE!~!!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks Gram. The chickens wish you Happy Holid... wait a minute!!! They stole my coffee!!!!!! Oh boy, this is going to be a rough morning.

[VJFranzK]

[MjBeaud]

Love the chicken!

[pimpboy75]

lol, hope you win!

[MjBeaud]

thanks pimpboy. we're certainly trying.

[ByronProductions]

Well done! By far the best video. Good luck!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks Byron. You're video was very clever. That seems like an efficient way to open a Wonderful Pistachio.

[ExactLeigh]

lmao that was amazing! great job definatly voted for you, very creative and funny lol

[MjBeaud]

Thanks for the vote and the kind words. I liked your "Pumpkin + Katana = DEATH" video - Cannibal Pumpkin haha.

[TonyPernice]

hahahahaha the chicken screaming GET CRAKIN is the funniest thing ive ever seen...priceless-good luck man

[MjBeaud]

Thanks Tony. The chickens are definitely stars.

[bracez1]

Remarkable video from start to finish. Creative, fun, and memorable. The use of the chickens and the film editing was excellent. Chickens singing and responding to "Get Crackin'"...it doesn't get any better than that. This piece is surely ready for television. "Wonderful Pistachios" has a sure winner in this ad. Good luck. We'll be rooting for you as we "Get Crackin'" on these Wonderful Pistachios we just purchased!

[MjBeaud]

Appreciate the kind words my good sir. We worked hard on this commercial.

[jojofelina]

LOL THIS IS FUNNY

[MjBeaud]

Thank you so much!

[Leshbo]

LOLS!

Its So Funny!

I Like The Chicken Talking Part ~

I Voted For You :D

Hope You'll Win xD

[MjBeaud]

Thanks! The Chickens want to say... oh wait... they're out at the club dancing it up while I'm here promoting. Well I would like to thank you on behalf of the chickens. Good night!

[MjBeaud]

They yelled at me to, "Get Crackin' on promotion!!!!!"

[yorproductions]

great video! very funny. too bad you're gonna get screwed by the Destorm army but I'll be voting for you. good luck

[MjBeaud]

Meh, c'est la vie right? No matter what - we'll push this one to the end. We wont go down without a fight! Thanks for the support. I wish you the best.

[ChildsGuidetoLife]

I LOVE THIS! I hope you win!

[MjBeaud]

Thank you so much! I'll tell the chickens... but I'm worried it's getting to their heads. They are becoming little divas.

[ChildsGuidetoLife]

yeah, next they'll want their own series and endorsements and they'll begin competing with those Chick Fil-A cows! =)

[MjBeaud]

Oh no... now they're demanding Coach wristlets and Dolce and Gabbana diamond studded sunglasses... it's begun.

[videeorater]

I thought your commercial was very creative and funny, but it's kind of loud and annoying. Good luck! I'm sure you will do well!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks.

[laclavicie]

LOL this is awesome, I love talking chickens!

[MjBeaud]

The chickens love talking! Although, it was very difficult to get them to talk on film. Apparently they're camera shy. Thanks for the support.

[DeFreesProductions]

hahaha the chickens are amazing... great job

can't watch it without cracking up everytime they say "get crackin!!!"

[MjBeaud]

GET CRACKIN'!!!! Thanks. The chickens are certainly big stars. Hopefully it doesn't get to their heads - they were already sassy on set... especially Henrietta.

[DeFreesProductions]

LOL!!

Thanks for the comments on my videos as well! yea I got 1st runner up in the Brad Paisley one, still got a prize thoughwhich was cool

(sorry I'd comment on your page but couldnt find the button to do it)

[crowsensei]

Made me LOL and I never write LOL! Very funny!

[MjBeaud]

Awesome. I always appreciate a legit LOL. I'll be sure to let the chickens know - they also love making people laugh.

[whutmy]

ok...AND i just noticed the chicken cracking the nut! That is golden! how hard was THAT?!! OMG!!! Literally these could be the chickens that layed the golden nut for you!  :-)

[MjBeaud]

That shot took FOREVER! My buddy (& co-creator) owns the chickens and they are interesting. They don't like when you come near them and are incredibly fast - hard to keep in frame. Although they were very difficult to work with, I've come to appreciate them more. Each chicken has it's own personality. So, I guess I run with the chickens now. Thanks again. I wish you the best.

[whutmy]

Yep! This one was amazing. Deserves air time for sure. I loved the chickens coming out of the coop too. How hard was it to get that shot?

[MjBeaud]

Thanks! Actually, the chickens coming out of the coop was one of the easier shots because they tend to walk down the ramp. Originally there was a chicken that jumped out much faster than the rest but I digitally removed him... didn't make sense to have him digging for worms.

[eco727]

awesome video bro, you are one of the biggest competitors we have... check out our submission "Breakfast in Bed"

GOOD LUCK!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks eco. I already checked out "Breakfast in Bed" a while ago and left a comment but I'll watch it again. Definitely one of my favorite videos in this contest. Good luck.

[TorryMartin]

I think you are hilarious!I watched all of your contest videos and can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with your humor and creativity. I am certain that you will be in the top 10 for this and I hope I will have the honor of joining you there!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks Torry. I appreciate the kind words! The "Stalling" video on your page is amazing. Right now I'm eagerly awaiting your entry. Best of luck.

[Nelsonics]

That is a freakin awesome video. Good camera work and very clever. Hope we can compete with it. Check out Genius do it with diagram, give me your opinion please

[MjBeaud]

Thanks Nelsonics!

[AndraFilm]

Great Commercial! What camera did you use? Looks great.

[MjBeaud]

Thanks! The camera I have is a Canon HF100. We thought it did pretty well especially since we didn't have professional lighting. Definitely looking to invest in some good lighting soon.

[AndraFilm]

Cool thanks for the response. I wish you guys the best of luck. You deserve the win for such an original commercial.

[jaredcicon]

Ok....yeah....alright......no you're showing off. This was freaking awesome. I laughed out loud both times the Chicken did the mini solo. I loved everything about this. Wow. Great Great work.

[MjBeaud]

Thanks so much Jared. Having a respectable video-guru such as yourself say that puts a big smile on my face.

[litnight]

lol this is funny!

[MjBeaud]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[MarathonIG]

Hahaha awesome. Crap, I'm going to lose now! Well done.

[MjBeaud]

@MarathonIG Not necessarily- but thanks and good luck!
